best places to visit in oman
Muscat
Muscat is the capital and most populated city in Oman, as well as a place you wouldn’t want to miss when visiting the country.
This city is home to forts, palaces, museums, and markets. Even though you can’t visit the interior of the Qasr Al Alam Royal Palace, you can head to the harbor to get a close view of this amazing structure. Standing guard over the palace are the twin forts of Al Jalali and Al Mirani, which have been converted to museums and are now open to the public. Non-Muslim travelers can also visit the breathtaking Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque on most mornings, admiring its special features like the enormous crystal chandelier, marble wall panels, and the second-largest Persian carpet in the world.
Wahiba Sands
The Wahiba Sands is a region of desert in Oman.
This is where the Bedu people live (nomadic Arab tribe), and it is a popular travel destination for those in search of the true, authentic, and traditional Oman. You can experience the nomadic way of life in the Wahiba Sands by joining a tour that lets you ride on the back of a camel and camp in the desert under the stars. Additionally, the desert has been of scientific interest since a 1986 expedition by the Royal Geographical Society documented the diversity of flora and fauna of the terrain.
